In fact, the lifeboat was within 40 miles of shore and the pirates were trying to reinforce or offload the Captain and get him to shore....so that i-node was in fact correct that the use of force was a no-brainer..... J.

Now that you know your premise was wrong, do you want to change your conclusion? Not really. The snipers had a shot, they obviously should have taken it and as our military usually does, did a great job. The real point about this incident is that Leftwing nutjobs are trying to make out as though it was some kind of big foreign policy success for Obama. It wasn't. He did fine. But it was more akin to handling a bank robbery than it was managing an international incident. Surely, there isn't one of us posting here who wouldn't have done precisely as Obama did. Which was to turn it over to the capable hands of our military and say, "if you get a chance to take them out, do it".
